Simon only has smaller ones for sale, thanks, we are in touch.

The pulley on the Stenner is just slightly too big to run a 5 ft blade fast enough by a traction engine, requiring a racing engine if the governors are wound up! A 6 foot blade would be ideal. Another answer is to make smaller pulleys!

I have just acquired a larger Fordson Standard belt pulley for the Major which will now hopefully also be better matched to the 5 foot blade.

I'll keep searching!

Try E P S Edwards down in Somerset Jonathan they had found some new old stock blade a few months age and i think one was a 6 footer . Phone 01984624273. Mind it could have been a plate blade .

Thanks Colin, now sent them an e mail. Not sure if I want to go back to plate saws though, but they do have a 6 footer... Been using inserted tooth blades since the year dot...
